- 28 percent is an 8 percent improvement over his career average and would be fine if he could get another 5% this year.
-yes a freaking dunk highlight! It was freaking nasty! It shows that he's getting stronger and can absorb contact while dunking
- yes a game winner
- yes Rudy Gay's opinion over yours

Hater

I listed my reasons.....It really wasnt up for debate.

Not up for debate? You do realize this is a public msg board, right?

- 33% is still stinky (man, it's crazy how low we've set our expectations for DeRozan)
- Gerald Green has nastier dunks than DeRozan. (so does Ross for that matter). Maybe Green should be our starting SG
- a meaningless game winner in a meaningless season that will likely never be duplicated in DeRozan's career
- Remember when Dirk said that Bargnani was a good player?

I find it amusing when people throw out the "hater" slur. It screams of laziness.

Tyreke Evans shot 33.8% from 3PT last year. If DeRozan's improvement is to Tyreke Evans then it's going to be another long year.

33% for 3pt shooting is the standard anywhere above that is Steph Curry numbers on a bad week . If Demar can at least be a threat from the 3 pt line and knock down open looks when set in catch and shoots Ross and Fields have no right to be in the same sentence as DeMar. Its important he has a 3 or shot but I don't want him to stop slashing in the lane and posting up. DeMar brings a lot to the table I think Nick Nurse could design something nice for the current team offensively.

33% is a low standard, but Demar didn't even reach that. He only shot 28.3% Chris Bosh shot 28.4% while attempting 1 per game. Demar attempted 1.5 per game, but only hit 0.3 per game. His 3PT% puts him around 260th in the league. For 30 teams, 30 starting shooting guards, 30 starting PG, 30 starting SF, 30 starting PF and 30 starting C, we have 150 starters in the league. That means that Demar ranked behind 3.6 bench players per team.

Doubtful on this one. To be considered a reliable 3pt shooter, I'd say your mark has to be in the 35-40% range. To be elite you have to be around 42% and up.

Oh it was clearly Martell Webster. The contract was definitely a give away since it was such a recent signing.

Webster's deal and recent play is kind of the polar opposite of Demar. Webster played on a one-year deal, so there is the 'contract year' concern whereas Demar has never had to produce.

Can Demar be worth $9.5Million per? Sure, he can post up, cut off the ball, get to the free throw line, and become a stronger finisher. But with Rudy Gay on the roster, is it worth it? Without a perimeter threat on the wing, the team doesn't work nearly as efficiently.
